“A unique experience”
The arrival was strange, I was greeted by permanent residents, shirtless, blasting music and staring at me. The owner wasn’t there, one of the resident was in charge of giving me the access but didnt know much about which room I had and were was the key. In fact after calling the owner, there was no key. You have a private room in a small rental house mixed up with people living there permanently. No way to lock your door and your window, so you basically have to trust that nothing will happen when you leave. The fridge was full so I could barely put any groceries. The bathroom had a « suicidal shower » with cables hanging directly above it. Not super safe. At night your hear the neighbors until late, dogs barking , traffic etc so sleeping was a bit difficult. The good thing is that it was quite affordable!

It was close to the airport. For this reason this place responded to our expectations. We didn't come for something else.

Great location close to the airport. Super clean. Comfortable bed, linens, and pillows. Good size room. Shared bathroom has hand soap and shower gel. WiFi works perfectly. Huge kitchen to cook in that is stocked with pots, pans, kettle, oven, stove, fridge, dishes, cutlery, drinkware, spices, oil, coffee, and tea. Nice to have a fan in the room.

“Good short stay accomodation”
Check in was super flexible and host kept in contact with us while we arrived at the airport. Great location 5 minute uber away from airport if you want a few hours sleep before or after travels. Room and shared bathroom were clean and well equipped.

Finding the location and check-in was confusing since no one was there at the time and we didn't have texting or calling capabilities.
